I Go Walking In My Pajamas

Lyrics

1. I go walking in my pajamas Is everybody looking at me? Can't recall when I woke up. Got to remember to breathe. (loud exhale) (Loud inhale on pickup) (soto voce) Don't look now, but there's a new king in town; Guess we've all been asleep too long. Who would've thought that just looking like me Would turn out to be so very wrong? You may be a president, cowboy, or clown, there's one thing everybody knows It's a bad idea to get your fashion advice from an emperor that has no clothes. 2. There's some guy smiling there through a hole in his head; He says, "Hey! We've been lookin' for you." "We know where you've been, we know what you've done; we think we know what you're gonna do." "Just take a deep breath; put your head in the bag, You're gonna get your 15 minutes of fame. You're gonna look great, you're gonna be a slam dunk; And you're the perfect one to take the blame." You may be a president, cowboy, or clown, there's one thing everybody knows It's a bad idea to get your fashion advice from an emperor that has no clothes.
